Address Generator

Getting started

Your own key pair

You can go to some websites, create an account and have them manage your online wallets there. It also means that you can lose your money when they are hacked or compromised. Also, some websites make it very difficult to export the private keys.

Would you give your money safe key to strangers? The same applies for cryptocurrencies, the money is truly yours when only you have the keys. You can generate your own key pair, thanks to AddressGenerator

Asymetric cryptography

A cryptocurrency account, which is based on Asymmetric cryptography, consists of 2 keys: public key and private key.

The private key (raw or in wallet import format) is a secret number generated randomly. You spend money by using private key to sign transaction.

The public key is derived from private key. Your account address is a hash value of this public key.

It's important that only you own and store these keys securely 💪

Extra dependencies

Generating wallets with Javascript browsers or electron.js apps is a big red flag ‼️ Those are built on top of hundreds of libraries. Even if you're offline, who knows if any of those dependencies are doing evil 😱

Features

AddressGenerator features

Use pure Swift and C code. No extra dependencies.

Support macOS 10.11

Generate key pair using OpenSSL. On macOS 10.13, it is LibreSSL 2.2.7 which is a fork of OpenSSL from 2014. OpenSSL seeds from /dev/urandom, which guarantees very good entropy, so your keys are truly random and secure.

No saving or networking. Your keys are generated and only you know about it.
